Tool user's candy store - LKTraz - 09-12-2010
Is there anyone else here who thinks Harbor Freight is bargain tool heaven?
Harbor Freight Tools
RE: Tool user's candy store - twisteroo - 09-12-2010
They have their place, it's not gonna replace craftsman, snap-on, SK, Makita, etc, etc...
But for something the average guy is only gonna use a handful of times. Hells yeah, I've bought stuff there.
RE: Tool user's candy store - LKTraz - 09-12-2010
For quality tools I will buy Craftsman, Ingersol-Rand, Black and Decker, Stanley etc. But when I need something that will not be constantly used these guys are the cat's ass!
We have a Harbor Freight retail store nearby in Pottsville and another just a bit farther in Harrisburg.

We have one not 5 miles from here. They are mostly crap when it comes to hand tools. But, if you need a cheap dolly in a pinch or a hand truck.... HF is the place to grab one!
I'm a firm believer in buying the right tool the first time and cheaping out only costs you more in the long run.

Last winter I needed a small rat tail file for something I was doing, good files were like 20 bucks for 2 or 3 of them in a little set at sears or home depot. HF had a set of about 10 for like 2 bucks. Used it and now I really don't even know where the set is, or care. Hell, I'll probably never have any use for them again.

Great for disposable stuff like files, gloves that will get ruined after 1 or 2 jobs, cut off wheels when even the good ones don't last for more than more than one project etc.

HF is my favorite place for strange whats it tools and Christmas things that may be used once in a life time in a strange place and time for a man that says hmm I may never use that but its cool and 2 years later he says my god I used it gee thanks it saved my ass... stocking stuffer odd ball things you think you may never use like thumb ratchets that LK cant live without now LOL
I may buy him an expensive set one day
RE: Tool user's candy store - twisteroo - 09-13-2010
